‘Najib had to be aware of flow of 1MDB funds’


KUALA LUMPUR: A former Singaporean banker told the High Court he assumed Datuk Seri Najib Razak knew about the flow of funds transacted by 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) and three companies through fiduciary funds.

Kevin Michael Swampillai, 59, who is the ex-head of wealth management services at BSI Bank, said he formed the impression based on the fact that SRC International Sdn Bhd – one of BSI’s 1MDB-linked clients – was a company owned by the Finance Ministry at the time when Najib was finance minister.
